You don't /have/ to use a chainloader to boot linux, since grub "knows" a bit 
more about linux; but on the other hand, if you have multiple distros 
installed, it would make more sense to have them booting as chainloader 
otherwise you could have some nasty problems when you upgrade the kernels - 
chainloader gets round this problem nicely, and is a much saner way to handle 
this type of thing
